1 Samuel 25

³¹ then my lord will have no remorse or guilt of conscience over needless bloodshed and revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your servant.”

³² Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!

³³ Blessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.
